Excerpt from Via Rhodesia: A Journey Through Southern Africa Nor is supremacy all. It avails nothing to reach the mountain-top if one finds loneliness and misery there. The happiness of the multitude, the comfort of the people, this is more to be desired than the glittering uniforms of conquering armies; the locked-up wealth of a country should be, not jewels in coffers, but bloom in the faces of that country's inhabitants, health in the bodies, peace in the minds. When one speaks of the people of one's Country, one is so apt to think of just the Capital and its inhabitants. One's Country means the whole - just as Great Britain may be likened to a live human being with England for its heart, the Colonies for its limbs.
